Hello all,

I've recently purchused a Satmap in the Netherlands and i'm testing the unit.
I want to use the beep alert when i am encouter a waypoint or POI.
Default it is set at 3 times beep. You can set it to max 10 times.
The beep does come, but is almost inaudable. When I put my ear to the unit its there.

Are there other members who have the same problem?
How loud should the beep be? Any thoughts?

Thanks,
The Wizzarrd

Wizzarrd. Yes, it is extremely quiet. I think the socket underneath by the usb socket is for a earphone. I have never tried it but it may be more audible through that. I would much prefer to have a louder external beep though.

I have the same problem and have put it down to my hearing, not that I cannot hear but that the frequency chosen is too high. This seems to be a common problem, I have experienced it with other products. It would be nice to be able to easily hear the sounds and possibly Satmap can change the frequency in a software update, but I would guess that at present there are higher priorities.

Hello cwmboy. Just tried it with headphones. However the beep only goes through the internal speaker. The audio you can hear is the sound when you push the buttons on the side of the unit. It is really a shame, because when this would work properly and the screen is in sleepmode, you would hear the passing of a waypoint with the beeps.

The Wizzarrd.

Hi Wizzarrd, I often wondered about the phono socket - now I know it won't make a difference to the beeps, thanks. It is a shame it isn't louder maybe it is on Satmaps list of Things To Do.
